you_punks_sucked_me_in Dafremen Yea that's right, somewhere along the way I've stopped being emotionally detached from you folx. Not a problem, I've already started putting insidious motives behind your blathers. Shouldn't be too long now and my imagination, having been let off the leash, will have created of you sweet neurotic young folx something of infinite evil which I can more easily alienate and detach myself from. Yes yes, hey Gollum join me in a chorus of "Yes,Yes my precious" then we'll go our separate ways and I'll ice the cake with a long conversation with myself as I stroke my already over-inflated ego into a velvety smooth megalomaniacal auto-orgy. Ahhhh and I quit smoking, damn, I could really use a cigarette after all that self-indulgent verbal auto-fellatio. (Whew that's out of my system. I like to vent my vanity in doses, helps me keep it real the rest of the time. Thanks for your indulgence.) 010811 ... paste! ooooh! i want to know what my motive is! 010811 ... unhinged i haven't had a cigarette since tuesday. i just had a cup of coffee and now i really want a cigarette. i hate how those two go together. 010811 ... Dafremen That'll be quite enough out of YOU paste! Your dastardly plot to brainwash myself and the entire original cast of 'Benji the Series' with your hypnotic blather is doomed to fail you hideously evil monster! 010812 ... Dafremen If you ever decide to quit, Nicoderm CQ. For guys that have fallen completely and hopelessly in love with Nocturnal there is also Nocoderm QT. I haven't tried that one myself, I think Johnny might have. Don't ask him though, these days he's likely to tell you to eat messy do0-do0 fritters or something. 010812 ... unhinged oh i'm not trying to quit; i just can't smoke in front of my parents. it's kind of a fear/respect thing. i just had a clove as a matter of fact. 010812 ... paste! speaking of smoking, today marks 6 months without a cigarette! i think i'm gonna celebrate with a big phat joint. and daf, there is no such thing as a hideously evil monster. trust me, that's all in your head. 010812 ... Dafremen I realize that. Please reread my blather, I'm sure you'll see that THAT was the point. You're monsters dammit! None of your fairy trix varmint! 010812 ... paste! but there is no such thing as your blather. trust me, that's all in your head. 010812 ... Dafremen Did someone just blather something? I could've SWARN I read a blather. 010812 ... nocturnal I'm gonna have to do something about that Nocoderm stuff. it'll ruin all my plans to control the male population of the world. I'm calling my lawyers first thing tomorrow morning. they work for me for free. guess why. heh heh heh. 010812 ... lost your damn strait imma punk!!! 010812 ... Casey I'm not a punk per-say...I guess I'm a semi-punk. But I got it all from silentbob. I don't know whether to hug him or shake him violently. Just kidding about the violently shanking part 010812 ... silentbob do you care about me dafreman? 010813 ... Darth Gollum Use the force Dafremen, yes nasty little hobbit, the dark side. 010813 ... Dafremen Hmmm. Well S'Bob, I'm not sure if I understand the question. I'd say that if I care for you folx it is in the way that we come to care for the characters in a book. For a Libra, that can mean caring an awful lot. I can think of at least 2 characters off the bat that I still think of fondly from time to time as if to say, "I wonder what he's up to these days?" The entire warren at the end of Watership Down at the top of their perfect hill shaded by the big tree with the strong roots. The children rolling and wrestling in the grass while their parents nuzzle or chew lazily on some clover. I hope everything is going well for them and that their children are strong and fast. : ) Another character I think about an awful lot is Milo from The Phantom Tollbooth. I relate to Milo terribly well. When I'm getting lazy and unmotivated or lettign the day drag on I think of Milo stuck in the Doldrums and I get motivated. I'm not sure why, but the thought of being stuck in that place bugs me. When things get too quiet(I'm not sure what that means. Is there such a thing?) or too loud I remember Dr. Discord and the bottled sound of "ants running across the ceiling in slippers." See it's like..what was the question again? Oh yea, sure Bob, my entire impression of you is a positive one if that's what you're asking. You seem like a calm, level headed guy for your age. Your glass eye is also a plus. 010813 what's it to you? who go blather from
